I just type in my user name. Hit enter. Then move on. No drama for me.

Really? I would not expect to escape a blank black screen by entering my username like it's a screensaver, but I'll try it. I've been Ctrl-Backspacing (or Ctrl-Alt-Backspacing, I forget which) to get out of the blank screen, because I didn't have a better idea.

My experience from the last couple of days is that the Xfce4 install overwrites some parts the IceWM and antiX Control Center. Could be just me because I decided to continue using SpaceFM & IceWM on my netbooks.

Perhaps it's either one or the other. My searches didn't find any corraboration of this on antiX.
